The McRae one was pretty brutal. Maybe he didn't go low, but he launched himself once he was past the bag and already out. http://cdn.barstoolsports.com/wp-con...aro.gif?6a89d0 was probably the worst one from last year's playoffs.

I hate it. Get rid of the area rule, but call runner interference for any slide that intentionally ends up off the bag (and yes, making it a judgment call would also lend itself to controversy, but it would cut down on the more egregious takeout slides). But as long as you have the area rule I don't understand how this wasn't at least ruled an out at 2nd.
